NBC's next musical? 'Robin Hood'!

NBC is dominating when it comes to musicals, fresh off the success (?) of The Sound of Music Live! and currently embroiled in the hype storm that is Peter Pan Live! Let’s see if it can bring that enthusiasm — with an exclamation point — to Robin Hood.

The network is developing Robin Hood & Marian, a 10-episode series set in 1190 that tells the origin story of the greatest man in tights that ever lived — a.k.a. Kevin Costner’s role of a lifetime.

It’s not going to be a “traditional” musical however, according to Boardwalk Entertainment Group co-founder Tim Bogart. So there goes our dream of hot men shimmying and dancing.

NBC hopes to crank out about 60 original songs for the show and follow the series with a stage tour and possibly a radio series.

The Robin Hood series is being developed alongside musical shows set in the 1970s (creatively called The 1970s), to be produced by Adam Levine.

Dancing or not, we’ll gladly lend our ears to you, NBC. With that, we leave you with this gem.
